You would need to specify the `maven.repo.local` parameter to do this.   

    mvn package -Dmaven.repo.local=/alternate/repo/location

[Here][1] is a related SO question.

  [1]: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71030/can-i-add-maven-repositories-in-the-command-line

Use the localRepository setting in your settings.xml file.  Example:

    &lt;settings&gt;
      &lt;localRepository&gt;/repo&lt;/localRepository&gt;
      ...
    &lt;/settings&gt;

See [here][1] for more info.

You can also set the repository via the command line using &quot;-Dmaven.repo.local=&lt;location&gt;&quot;  such as:

    mvn -U clean install -Dmaven.repo.local=C:\tmp

I know that I can use following command to extract a single file to the current working directory (assume I have a tar file named test.tar and a file named testfile1 and testfile2 are inside it):

    $tar xvf test.tar testfile1

And I can use -C option to extract files to another directory:

    $tar xvf test.tar -C anotherDirectory/

When I incorporate the above two techniques together, I suppose that I can extract a single file to another directory. 

    $ tar xvf test.tar testfile1 -C anotherDirectory/

But the result is I can only extract the testfile1 to the current working directory, rather than the anotherDirectory.

I want to know how can I extract a single file from tar to a different directory?

How to extract a single file from tar to a different directory?

The tool I develop needs to grant access rights &quot;Full Control&quot; to a file created by it. It needs to be read, modified and deleted from all windows accounts and even possible future accounts. Could this be achieved?

I know I can try this for a SPECIFIC_USER: 

    FileSystemAccessRule rule = new FileSystemAccessRule(SPECIFIC_USER, FileSystemRights.FullControl, AccessControlType.Allow);
    FileSecurity fSecurity = File.GetAccessControl(filePath);
    fSecurity.SetAccessRule(rule);
    File.SetAccessControl(filePath, fSecurity);

But how do I grant it to all users? And even possible future accounts? If the latter part is not possible, how to go about the first requirement?

Thanks.

EDIT: 

This is the code which worked for me. Taken from the answerer&#39;s link.


    private void GrantAccess(string fullPath)
    {
        DirectoryInfo dInfo = new DirectoryInfo(fullPath);
        DirectorySecurity dSecurity = dInfo.GetAccessControl();
        dSecurity.AddAccessRule(new FileSystemAccessRule(
            new SecurityIdentifier(WellKnownSidType.WorldSid, null), 
            FileSystemRights.FullControl,
            InheritanceFlags.ObjectInherit |
               InheritanceFlags.ContainerInherit,
            PropagationFlags.NoPropagateInherit,
            AccessControlType.Allow));

        dInfo.SetAccessControl(dSecurity);
    }

Note the `PropagationFlags.NoPropagateInherit` which is required (mentioned towards the last in the link). It does grant privilege to even future accounts.

Currently we specify the location of local repository in the settings.xml. Is it possible to override this setting via command line or env variable, such that I can use an alternative location sometimes?

In my maven project I have a number of modules. Is it possible to turn off running unit test for some modules via command line options? 

My project takes about 15 mins to run through all unit tests. I would like to speed up the overall build by running just the unit tests in the module I am working on. I do not want to go in and edit each individual pom.xml to achieve this.

I have tried a solution outlined here: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2922581/can-i-run-a-specific-testng-test-group-via-maven][1] However the result is a lot of test failures in modules that I want to skip. I suppose &#39;group&#39; is not the same concept of module?

Where should should project documentation (requirements, etc.) be stored in a typical maven project.

None of the directories listed in [Introduction to the Standard Directory Layout][1] page is an obvious candidate.

I don&#39;t know how to use Maven at all.  I&#39;ve been developing for a couple years with Eclipse and haven&#39;t yet needed to know about it.  However, now I&#39;m [looking at some docs][1] that suggest I do the following: 

*&quot;To include it within your project, just add this maven dependency to your build.&quot;*

    &lt;repository&gt;
       &lt;id&gt;jboss&lt;/id&gt;
       &lt;url&gt;http://repository.jboss.org/maven2&lt;/url&gt;
    &lt;/repository&gt;

       ...
    &lt;dependency&gt;
       &lt;groupId&gt;org.jboss.resteasy&lt;/groupId&gt;
       &lt;artifactId&gt;resteasy-jackson-provider&lt;/artifactId&gt;
       &lt;version&gt;1.1.GA&lt;/version&gt;
    &lt;/dependency&gt;


How do I do this with my Eclipse project? 

Please assume I know nothing about Maven. I just figured out it might be installed on my computer by typing `mvn` on the command line, but that&#39;s seriously the extent of my knowledge.  I would be happy to continue knowing nothing about Maven if there is an equivalent, non-Maven way of following these instructions with Eclipse.

How do I add a Maven dependency in Eclipse?

If I can use `${project.build.sourceDirectory}` to reference the source directory, what do I use to reference the &quot;resources&quot; directory?

Looking at the super pom, it would seem that `${project.build.resources.resource.directory}` would work, but it does not . . .

Referencing resources directory from project object model variables

I have a parent POM in a Maven project, with this structure:

                 parent
                   |
            ---------------
            |             |
          child1       child2


I want to install the POM of the *&quot;parent&quot;* in the local REPO to allow *child1* take some changes that I did in the dependencyManagement, but **I cannot do a regular &quot;clean install&quot;** because *&quot;child2&quot;* is broken and will not build.

Which is the proper way to do this with maven (other than going to the parent pom and commenting the *&quot;child2&quot;* module).

In addition to the src/main/java, I am adding a src/bootstrap directory that I want to include in my build process, in other words, I want maven to compile and include the sources there in my build. How!?

I&#39;ve created a simple console Java application that is built with Maven. Is there a way that the main class (which doesn&#39;t require any arguments) can be run from the command-line using a maven command like:

    mvn run-app com.example.MainClass

run main class of Maven project

Hello I&#39;m using a configuration file from src/main/resources in my java application. I&#39;m reading it in my Class like this :

    new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(&quot;src/main/resources/config.txt&quot;)));

So now I&#39;m building this with maven using `mvn assembly:assembly`. Here is the bit for that in my pom.xml :

    &lt;plugin&gt;
    				&lt;artifactId&gt;maven-assembly-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
    				&lt;version&gt;2.3&lt;/version&gt;
    				&lt;configuration&gt;
    					&lt;finalName&gt;TestSuite&lt;/finalName&gt;
    					&lt;descriptorRefs&gt;
    						&lt;descriptorRef&gt;jar-with-dependencies&lt;/descriptorRef&gt;
    					&lt;/descriptorRefs&gt;
    					&lt;archive&gt;
    						&lt;manifest&gt;
    							&lt;addClasspath&gt;true&lt;/addClasspath&gt;
    							&lt;mainClass&gt;com.some.package.Test&lt;/mainClass&gt;
    						&lt;/manifest&gt;
    					&lt;/archive&gt;
    				&lt;/configuration&gt;
    			&lt;/plugin&gt;

So when I run my app I get this error :

    src\main\resources\config.txt (The system cannot find the path specified)

But when I right click on my assembled jar I can see it inside, anyone knows what I&#39;m doing wrong?
